A number of seniors are hunting far and wide forsubjects for essays and orations, upon which something may be said to astonish the natives.

All members of the Junior class are cordially invited to attend a social at the home of Ilerbert Prescott, corner of Inaalls and Hlll st. next Friday evening.

One of the pleaaautest occasions of the school year was the Students' Christian Association sociable last Friday evening at the residence of Miss Ella Wagner. The literaryexercisesot the evening wcre very good especially the recitations of Miss B!unt. It appears as though J. G. Leiand, '91, meant to forsake us altogether. He left school three weeks ago just "for a day or so'1 to help the new firm at Wines & Worden's store, but he lias made himself so useful and we suppose ornamental too, that the flrm are loth to part with him.

He was given a farewell party at the rooms of T. J3, üoodrich hy a íiumber of his frlenda. A bachelor's banquet of good thines was most heartily enjoyed. Mr. Gammon made a favorable speech In which he expressed an ardent desire of "getting up in the literary world." A few weeks ago Mr. T. E. Goodrich and his sometime chum, Mr. A. B. Connable arrangcd, and carried out in a gentlemanly fashion, a unique and somewhat startling surprise on four or five of thell frlends. The four or five frlenda afore?aid vowed a mighty vow to the Godp, collectively and individually, that they would have deep and requiting revenge. After many nights of protracted and exhausting thought, they decided to administer to the jocnlar'gentlemen a corrective that would remind them of their childliood. Accordingly, armed with determination and a trunk strap, they set out at 9:;iO p. na., Tuesday. They decided to begin on Mr. G. who is pale and somewhat eniaciated from long hours of study and who looketh not as If his bodily strength waxeth strong. Five strong and hcaltliy youtlis climbed up the winding stairs that leatls to his attic and went in. Tliere carne a "sound of revelry by night" and In a few aeconds, down tlirousrh the winding stiiirs with vestments all awry and with woful "ej'es that witnessed huge affliction and dismay," came the gentlemen into the "stilly" night. Greatiy disconcerted at their reception, they dlrected tlieir attention to Mr. Connabïe who rejoices in at least twice the adiposo tissue of Mr. U., ana wnose muscular enerrj' varíes directly as the fquare of the udipose. Let us not continue the description. Weep ye Gods that ííve so young and full of proinlse should perish. The landladies of tlie two jokces rejoice that material for a new hair matrcss has been so unexpectedly furnlshed them. Look for the obittiary notices of flve eloquent menibets of the Arena in the local column. APrRECIATION OP ART.
